Patricia had been giving her the cold shoulder from the get-go, and now it was even worse!
Ellinor stared ahead with determined eyes and replied coolly, "Seems like we're not heading in the same direction."
Patricia laughed cordially, "Even if we're not, I can take a detour and give you a lift! We know each other well enough. It’s no biggie to drop you off!"
"No need to go out of your way."
"Ellinor, you're not scared of me, are you?"
Ellinor chuckled lightly, "What would I be scared of?"
Patricia still had her best innocent smile on her face, "You're afraid I'll retaliate, aren't you? Ha ha, relax, Ellinor. After what happened last time, even if I wanted to get back at you, I wouldn't do it now, and definitely not in my car! That would just land me in hot water! I'm not that stupid to shoot myself in the foot!"
Ellinor gave her a sidelong glance, "So what's your game?"
Patricia looked dead serious, "I just want to have a chat with you. Is that okay?"
Even though Ellinor knew Patricia's sincerity was all for show, she still got in the car.
She was fed up with Patricia following her around, and she couldn't find a ride anyway!
Once she got in the car, Ellinor let out a tired yawn, "I need to get home, so you might as well drop me off!"
Patricia awkwardly said, "Ellinor, I need to drop lunch off to my brother at the office first. Can I take you home after that?"
